Grow Report Week 15: The Calm Before the Harvest Hello dear grow friends, I hope you'll forgive the brevity of this update, as I am very busy this week and don't have a day off. I'm looking forward to Sunday when I will finally have more time for my ladies. **Trolmaster Contest** Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible support provided by TrolMaster, whose contest concludes tomorrow. Without their assistance, this endeavor could have taken a very different course. I am not only thankful but also thrilled by this amazing product, which I highly recommend to all of you. There’s no need to worry about high temperatures anymore, and the ability to check your values on the go is truly invaluable. The Tent X Controller may come at a price, but it is an investment you will never regret. It offers the possibility of endless expansion with additional sensors. A heartfelt thank you once again to the support team and the representatives on Instagram. With love ❤️ **Development and Harvest Time** Everything is going according to plan, and the ladies are developing well. I estimate that they will have a harvest time of about **3-4 weeks**. Overall, I am satisfied with the progress. **Time-Lapse and Conclusion** The next few weeks will probably show hardly any noticeable changes, so the time-lapse will be finished next week. It was a great grow with many ups and downs. **Looking Forward to the Harvest** I'm looking forward to testing the ladies soon and am excited about the results. I will, of course, keep you updated. See you soon and thank you for sharing this journey with me! Your budz_bunny

######################################### HARVEST (Day 93 / June 4) ######################################### ----------------------------------------------------------- GROW SUMMARY ----------------------------------------------------------- Grown in 4x4 tent - but I only used 2x2 space because of heater and dehumidification and other plants (Outlier Z). This plant used a dedicated CMH 315 light. The plant was grown in hydroponics using a custom single-site PA hydroponics clone RDWC system with Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco line, Microbial Mass and Orca for beneficials. I also experimented with Rapid start in the RDWC system, but I didn't see explosive root growth relying on Rapid Start as an additive to the system verse using it when starting in rapid rooters which worked well. All around a pretty easy grow and things went very well. Topped twice for a mainline structure and she really spread out. Sparkling golf ball size nugs down the branches and spaced out nicely. The scent off her was like burned rubber/tires or maybe fresh blacktop. A single water change which was only performed when switching to bloom nutrients around week 7. ----------------------------------------------------------- HARVEST ----------------------------------------------------------- No dark period and no flush. On day 93 she was chopped and hung to dry. ----------------------------------------------------------- DRYING ----------------------------------------------------------- Entire plant hung upside down for 15 days. The temps were dialed in at 60F by using the S6 intake fan pulling air from the AC through intake vent on side of the tent. Humidity was dialed in at 63%/60F for 24hr, 62%/60F for the next 48hr. Then 60%/60F for the third day and onward. AC Infinity T6/S6 exhaust and intake fans were on the setting of '2' during drying until day 7, then I could turn down to a setting of '1' once the plants were not transpiring excess moisture. Trimmed on day 18. Then the jars were left open in the tent for another 12 more days for a full 30 day dry at 60%/60F while rolling the jars frequently. Also ran dehumidifier in the tent but it only ran for 1-2 minutes every hour because the AC was doing most of the dehumidification on the intake. ----------------------------------------------------------- TRIMMING ----------------------------------------------------------- Trimming was an absolute breeze. All swelled nuggets, very little sugar leafs left to trim. ----------------------------------------------------------- CURING ----------------------------------------------------------- Flower product was transferred to 1L mason jars averaging 35g of product per jar. I added a mini hygrometer to each jar and chose not to use a boveda this time. The RH averaged 62-64% when trimmed flowers went in jars. Jars were left open in the tent for a total dry time of 30 days from harvest keeping the tent at 60%/60F. Once closed, the jars were burped once a day for the first seven days, once every other day for the next seven days, rolling jars often. The burp was only for 3-5 second for air exchange until a. 62% was maintained in the jar. ----------------------------------------------------------- YIELD ----------------------------------------------------------- * Weight calculated at 62% humidity after 30-day dry and 14-day cure. ============================== FLOWER PRODUCT ============================== 180.41g (6.44oz) ============================== TRIM PRODUCT ============================== 57g (2.03oz) ** All major fan leaves, stems, and branches removed from trim product. ============================== TOTAL OVERALL YIELD ============================== Total: 238.41g (8.51oz) ============================== SPACE YIELD ============================== 238.41g / 4 sqft (2x2 canopy) = 59.60g per sqft ============================== WATTAGE YIELD ============================== 315 Watts / 4 Square Foot (3x4 canopy) = 78.75 watts per sqft. 238.41g / 315 watts = 0.76 grams per watt ----------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT TEST ----------------------------------------------------------- Bag appeal is top-notch. Trichome covered, with aromas of that unique 'kush' you can quickly identify based on experience. Best OG Kush I've ever tried, hands down! The flavour is kushy, smoke is smooth and definitely my favorite strain in my tote of cured harvests at the moment. I can't keep my hands off of the jars. Definitely not a daytime strain, even for experienced users, although I'll use it in the afternoon when life is throwing curve balls. The effects rise you up, then sets you right down and will wash away all that anxiety after a long day. Put it this way....if I puff a few hours before bed, I still feel it the next morning when I peel my eyes open. No joke. I'll definitely be growing this one again, maybe even next run because I'll be sad when I run out. ----------------------------------------------------------- REGRETS ----------------------------------------------------------- Not running more of this amazing plant. ----------------------------------------------------------- NEXT RUN ----------------------------------------------------------- This was the first run at my new residence so it will take some time to get it dialed in. I had some calibration issues which are now fixed. I'm going to be shooting for 1gram per watt on the next run. ----------------------------------------------------------- FINAL THOUGHTS ----------------------------------------------------------- DarkOwl is the best autoflower I've grown yet. I'm now eager to give the Bruce Banner #3 they released a run and will surely acquire future releases from DarkOwl. ----------------------------------------------------------- THE END ----------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for checking out my diary! I typically journal in my notebook but I put some time and effort into documenting my grows on this platform in hopes it will help a new or experienced grower with their DWC journey. Any questions or suggestions are welcomed. Happy growing!

I think it’s about flushing time for Gorilla Zkittlez. She stinks up the whole room. Carbon filter ain’t cutting it. Lol Gorilla Cookies on the other hand is getting huge. I think she should pull some nice weight. She’s stacking up trichromes and starting to smell pretty good. A weird smell but it’s good. Idk how to explain it. 😎 That’s all till next week. 🤙🏽💪🏽

The smell coming from their Beaty is so dam sweet she smells just like a bowl of fresh cut pineapple ... Couldn't say that I've had a strain as fruity before very close but she takes the lead now.. the plant has put up with a lot of my mistake and with a better setup and more space she could be a real great producer ...can't wait to harvest this lady ..

Daily reports: Day 1. • Watering: In - 6.1 pH 470 ppm (0.75 l); Out - 6.4 pH 871 ppm (0.4 l). • Stats: - Height - 10.0 cm (Bent) - Temp - 27.5 °C - Hum - 78% • Notes: My very first LST started! I hope it will increase Heracles strength and body mass 😤 Day 2. • Watering: DRY DAY • Stats: - Height - 9.5 cm (Bent) - Temp - 27.7 °C - Hum - 73% • Notes: Bent Heracles two times today, will not do it any more. When she will grow a bit more - I will bent the main stem round the pot, so there will be a lot of space for secondary stems in future. Also some space between the ground and the stem will be handier to handle the plant. Day 3. • Watering: DRY DAY • Notes: Found a signs of magnesium, I think it's enough of drying. Day 4. • Watering: In - 6.2 pH 504 ppm (0.75 l); Out - ??? pH ??? ppm (0.00 l). • Stats: - Height - 11.5 cm (Bent) - Temp - 29.1 °C - Hum - 78% • Notes: It's too hot and too wet for the plant. I have to do something with that. Two days without watering made no difference - the coco is still wet (pot is still heavy). No drainage after 0.75 mixture poured - I didn't expect that! Day 5. • Watering: Day: In - 6.1 pH 573 ppm (0.75 l); Out - ? pH ? ppm (0.? l). Night: In - 6.0 pH 573 ppm (1.0 l); Out - 6.2 pH 1020 ppm (0.75 l). • Stats: - Height - 11.5 cm (Bent) - Temp - 27 °C - Hum - 75% • Notes: Did another round of LST today (accidentally broke one fan leave). Fed right after that. Found a green mfucker and tried to kill it but now I can't find him and that sucks. Day 6. • Watering: In - 6.1 pH 921 ppm (0.5 l); Out - 6.6 pH 921 ppm (0.15 l). • Stats: - Height - 13.0 cm (Bent) - Temp - 27 °C - Hum - 70% • Notes: Bent Heracles one more time. Now it's 4 side stems bent, main stem bent as well and one side stem grows vertically. At least six separate stems, not bad for the first LST experience! But I hope there will be more before flowering. Day 7. • Watering: Day: In - 6.2 pH 974 ppm (0.5 l); Out - 6.5 pH 780 ppm (0.2 l). Night: In - 6.1 pH 1020 ppm (0.5 l); Out - 6.5 pH 874 ppm (0.15 l). • Stats: - Height - 12.0 cm (Bent) - Temp - 26.2 °C - Hum - 62%

Hello, Day 77, Flower Phase , PGK, Final weeks of flower phase ongoing, Plant starting change color some leaves I can see some purple colors and mostly yellowish color. Trichomes still slightly cloudy and buds looks grate, smells also like tropical Mango ))) Temp is ok and TH also good at 65% these days. Thanks. Week 11 - Flower Phase Day 76 - 18/01/23 Day 77 - 19/01/23 Day 78 - 20/01/23

Just notice that one of the fan leaves that I put a small LST clip on has snapped off. Thinking that I may be better off sticking to the large clips removed a few of the LST clips and tied down branches with garden wire. I think this may be the better solution. Accidentally used 1 tsp for Bloom instead of 1/2 tsp. 5ml should be fine for a large plant, hopefully no nute burn as a result. So far she seems to be loving the extra nutes. Plants appear to have loved the 5ml of Bloom. No signs of burn this morning. Did some defoliation today to try and remove large leaves that were blocking light to bud sites

Day1: Father and child both doing well after a successful and happy birth. Day 2: The stem stretched a bit further than I would have liked so I’ve added another layer of soil to build up around the stem and I’ve moved the light a bit closer. Looks good now. Day 3: Continued to use the Force to make the seedling grow. It’s looking happy and healthy. It’s tedious work just standing there 18hrs a day. Day 4: Another good day of growing. I had R2 telling me dirty jokes to keep me distracted from the monotony of the task. Put some water around the stem just to dampen it down a bit. Day 5: Nothing to report. It’s already starting to feel like I’ve been here for a light year but Mr.Nelson said he’ll be bringing round some bud soon so that should help with the boredom. He said it’s important that I learn for myself by actually trying it, the difference between Indica and Sativa. Day 6: Dampened down soil around seedlings 🌱 Day 7: A week down and everything is looking good. Dampened down soil again today around seedling 🌱

We are at week 3 now. A lot of development, i have not used liquid nutes this week, it is raining a lot so no water needed, thus no liquid nutrients. I have top feed of dry nutrients mix, basically a mixture of a super soil recipe that usually is used within to make a hot soil: I mix all tue ingredients together and use it gradually about 40g as a powder, in the top of the soil. - Azomite 500g - Natural fosfate 500g - Biochar 1kg - Bokashi 1kg -Kelp meal 500g -Mamona meal 1kg -chicken meal 1kg -Potassium silicate 500g -Gypsum farm 500g -Diatomaceous earth 500g Mix all keep it in a soil bag, this pure mix and use it once every month. The companion plants have emerged and will protect the soil humidity mainly.

Ok so it ends here. Loved this babies fron the begining. I was starting to have issues with neighbors about the smell so did the cut. I think not that far from point. Fresh weight Pheno 1: 322g Pheno 2: 288g Overall: 610g Hope like 180g dry.

FAT BANANA 🍌 AUTO / RQS WEEK #10 OVERALL WEEK #5 FLOWER This week she's doing good no issues to report she's looking good buds are getting structure to them and they have nice trichome coverage! Stay Growing!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look much appreciated!! Thank you ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS!! RQS / FAT BANANA 🍌 AUTO

Quick kush is called quick for a reason 👌, nice big indica leaves starting to grow and stretch pretty fast, i had to re pot one of the girls so one of them might look a bit sad but she will get better (its the salts) Flushing and Buffering- I am personally using Canna Coco Coir,mix with one brick of plagron coco coir(had one left). 1. Why you Should buffer your Coco. Lets get to reading! (Its Worth it for those that dont know about it) There are cation exchange sites in coco that will interfere with nutrition until they are buffered. The cation exchange sites in coco naturally come loaded with sodium (Na) and potassium (K) cations. However, the Na and the K are only weakly held to the exchange sites. In the presence of calcium (Ca) or magnesium (Mg), the sites will release their Na or K cations and lock onto the Ca or Mg. These processes are known as “cation exchanges”. Buffering coco is accomplished by soaking it in Ca and Mg. This allows the cation exchanges to take place prior to adding plants. Simply soak your coco in a solution of Cal/Mag water and the exchange sites will release their K and Na cations and lock onto the Ca and Mg. When the cation exchange sites bond with Ca and Mg rather than Na and K, it is “buffered”. The bonds that hold the Ca and Mg to the sites are very strong and cation exchange will largely stop. This means that all of the nutrients that you add to the water will be available to the plant at the ratios that you provide them. 2. Alot of growers Grow in Unbuffered coco coir and its a big mistake guys, I myself was a "victim"😬of unbuffered coco and it does cause alot of problems... now i am going to try and fix them! -----GROWING IN UNBUFFERED COCO--- Many growers are unaware of the need to buffer the coco and they try to grow plants in unbuffered coco. In unbuffered coco, the cation exchange sites will strip the nutrient solution of the Ca and Mg and replace those cations with Na and K. This creates a sub-optimal Nutrient Element Ratio (NER) and renders Ca and Mg unavailable to the plant. Failing to buffer the coco is why so many growers suffer calcium deficiencies in coco grows. Manufacturers of prepared coco products try to exploit these problems and convince growers that only their proprietary products are suitable for growing. However, it is actually very simple to properly buffer your coco yourself. This tutorial walks you through the process and provides all the information you need to turn even the cheapest brick of dehydrated coco into a superior growing medium. I hope i Helped out someone who didnt know about this link on how to Buffer your Coco Coir is Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQi8AMMIyyA&t=18s 14/02/2019- I Decided tp raise up the amout of nutes and im giving them 1,5 ml per L so 15 ml's for 10 L / 2 Gallons of water

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Flowering day 57 since time change to 12/12). Hi all 😀. The inflorescences have stopped growing and are now starting to swell properly :-). The next 8-12 days will be harvested :-). Until then, she will only get the appropriate water and about 3-4 days before the harvest she will be poured a little more for the last flush. The week was poured three times with 1.2 l each. Otherwise, as always, everything was assessed and checked. I wish you all the best until the next update.

Hi guys, as you can see I did two small defoliation. Today (day 34) I transplanted the plants into 7 liter pots. They come up very well.

Day 127. Chop day !!!! Zkittalicious #6 is my first plant without any airy or small bud !!!! Plus he will be like others in 100g range ... #2 should beat all single plant records ;))) Happy Growing !!!

One is lacking behind from the start. They look good to me.

Start of 10th week and i decided to flush given almost 45L of clean water & been carefull with temperature of water! the laddies are looking well faded, and i hope to get a super clean medicine :) made some trim also on fan leaves to have better light penetration on lower canopy! Buds are looking dense, frosty & smelly!

Another good week come and gone. A couple of the girls needed nutrients so I add some general hydroponics blend into those that needed them. Didn't seem to make much difference yet. But they are getting into late flower. Orange sherbet isnt great right now. No real smell and not looking great. Not sure but prolly too small of a pot.
